Which treatment to chose.

Hi again guys. I seen my specialist a few weeks ago and she's asked me to do some research and help her decide the best course of treatment for the graves. She said she thinks the block and replace method may work best but to ask other people what worked best for them. I go back in 3 weeks time to discuss the options. I've also been going for regular blood tests the next one being tomorrow the 19 days after that then I see her a few days after. I go to the hospital and get my blood done because she said she can rely on her nurses to test the right things but not the Drs. She did talk me through damaging the thyroid and also removal but I'd like to try other things before that. X
